SPOKEN:

(The joy of the Lord is my strength and I’m thankful. This joy I have right now, right now. The world didn’t give it to me and they sure can’t take it away. Hey yo, Costie. Preach!)

Chorus:

THANK YOU FOR JOY-

THANK YOU FOR PAIN

LORD I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON

I’M SO GLAD HE CAME

THANK YOU FOR FAVOR-

THANK YOU FOR PEACE

THANK YOU FOR THE STRENGTH

I FEEL EVERY TIME I’M WEAK (Repeat)

1st Verse:

NAILED MY FLESH TO THE CROSS

HAD TO DIE TO SELF-

BURDENS GOT HEAVY

I NEEDED HELP

I CALLED YOUR NAME

AND A VOICE SAID TO FOLLOW ME

SUBMITTED TO YOUR WILL

AND PROFESSED THE HOLY TRINITY

FROM ME GONE WILD/ TO A LIFE OF REPENTANCE

GAVE ME GRACE AND FORGIVENESS

THE PAST IS NOT A PRISON

A DESPERATION FOR SEPARATION

FROM ANYTHING THAT AIN’T ABOUT YOU-

TELL ME I GOTTA DO (OH)

SO MANY FALSE PROPHETS

GIVE ME DISCERNMENT

PUTTING MY FAITH INTO ACTION HELP ME TO

LEARN IT

YOUR WORD TELLS THE STORY

OF HOW WE ALL CAN SEE GLORY

AND HAVE A PLACE IN YOUR KINDOM I’M TRYING TO EARN IT

Chorus:

THANK YOU FOR JOY-

THANK YOU FOR PAIN

LORD I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON

I’M SO GLAD HE CAME

THANK YOU FOR FAVOR-

THANK YOU FOR PEACE

THANK YOU FOR THE STRENGTH

I FEEL EVERY TIME I’M WEAK (Repeat)

Verse 2:

(I’M GONNA CLAIM THE VICTORY)

EVEN WHEN IM STILL GOING THROUGH IT

MUSTARD SEED FAITH- I KNOW THAT WHAT ITS GONNA TAKE

TO TURN THIS TEST INTO A TESTIMONY

TO STOP FORNICATING - TO HOLY MATRIMONY

I’M BLOOD BOUGHT WITH THE PRICE THAT JESUS PAID

SO I’M NOT AFFAID

ANYTIME YOU TRY TO THROW SHADE

SO YOU CAN TRY AND FORM A WEAPON IF YOU WANT TO

YOU GONNA MESS AROUND ONE DAY AND MAKE YOURSELF MY FOOTSTOOL

THE DEVIL SO MAD, HE TRYING HOLD ON

HAD ME WALKING IN DARKNESS OUT HERE FOR SO LONG

BUT GOD BROKE THE CHAINS BECAUSE HE’S TOO STRONG. TOO STRONG

AND NOW I SING A NEW SONG!

Chorus:

THANK YOU FOR JOY-

THANK YOU FOR PAIN

LORD I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON

I’M SO GLAD HE CAME

THANK YOU FOR FAVOR-

THANK YOU FOR PEACE

THANK YOU FOR THE STRENGTH

I FEEL EVERY TIME I’M WEAK
